Avis, was equally beautiful with gay and joyous maunes.' Col. Avis had a very high bred air, with an aristocr.atic figure and cast of face. The young daugbter of Madame Re- parfee,- just fifteen, with naive man- ners, and clinging yet fondly. to her ma- ma, was pretty and 'piqUant, and was most becomingly attired in white 'tarletan and cherry colored ribbon.s, which set off her rich brunette pomplexion, and very black and short curling hair, wch was'an' especial beauty.

Who Killed Stonewall Jackson. The details which:follow are given on the authority' of Jackson's staff officers, and one or two others who witnessed all that occur- red. Tn relation to the tragic portion of the scne, there remained, as'will be seen, but a single .winess. Jackson%dl riddeni foi-ward on the turn- pike to-reco,nnoitre, and assertain, if pbssible, irispite:of the darkness of the night,- the po- sition of the Federal lines. The moon shone, but it was struggling with a bank of clouds, and siforded but a dim lig'ht. From the gloomy thickets on each-,ide of the turnpike, looking more weird and scembre in the half light, came the malencholly notes of the -whip-poorwill. "I think there must have been ten thousand," said Gen. Steward, afterward. Such was the sene amid which the events now.about to be narrated, took place. Jackson bad advanced with some members 'of his staff, considerabiy b ev ond the building known as "MeiZi !Chan- celor's," abouit a mile from Chancellorsville, andl had reached a point nearly op'posite a dismantled hotise in the woods, near the road, hose, shell-torn roof riny still be seen,'$vhen e ' r'einedl in his horse and remaining per- fely gquie. gnd motionless, listen'ed jptently Jfor any indications ofCa movement ethe Fed- They .were scardecly two hundred yards in front of him, tind seeing the danger to which he exposed himself, one of hips 'staff officers said, "General, dori't you think this is the wron'place for you ?" lIe replied quickly, almost' in'dently, "The danger is all over ! theenemy is routed ; go back and tell *A. P. Iill to press rightgn!" The officer obeyed, but had'scarcely disappeared when a sudden volley was ffi-ed by .the Confederate infantry in Jackson's rear, and 'on the; right of the road-evidently directed upon him and- his scout. The. origin of this fire has never been discovered, and after Jackson's death there was little disposition to.investigate an oceur- rence which occasioned bitter distress on all, who, by ;m possibility, could have taken any part ini it. ~is proable, hov6ver, te so'me roovement of the Federal skirmishers had pro. oked the firg; if this is an error, the,. troops fired deliberately upon Jackson. and his party, uder the impression that they were a body of Federal cavalry reconnoitering. It is saik that th'e men had orders to open on any ob jeet in front,*especially on cayalry, a'nd thi di sence of pielfetsi or advance force of anj Id on -the Confederate side explains th '"'t. The enemy*were almdst in conta4ct wit! thmn; the Federal artillery, -fully command ng the positiorn of the troOps, was expecte4 to open every moment, and the men wer I:.-.s :. in ta mitdoniion which induce troops to fire at any. and every object they see. Whatever inay haveb6en the origin this volley, it came, and many of the staff and es cort were shot,' and fell from their horses. I Jackson wheeled to the ioft and galloped: into the woods to get of range.of the bullets ; but he had not gone'twliaty steps teyond the edge of-th*turnpike,'in the thicket, when bne of his brigades, dawn Fx ivithia thirty thirty yards of him, fired a volldy in their turn, kneeling on the right knee, as the flash of thgafs showed; as tGough prepared to "guard against cavalry." By the fire Jackson w; wounded in three places. Ie received one ball in the shoulder joint, shattering the I bone and severing the chief artery-'a second 1 ball passed through the same arm between the elbow and wrist, makingits esit through the palm of his right band, aboin the middle, and passing through, broke two.of the bones. 1 -At the same moment when'be %-as struck, t holding his rein in his left hand,, and the right was either raised in the .-siniguar-ges- ture habitual to him at ti es of excitement, or to protect his face from the boughs of the treeg. Ii l-It haind immediately dropped at .his side, and his horse, no longer controlled by the rein, and fi i.ghtened at. te firing, wheeled suddeily and ran fromn the fire in the direction of the Federal lines. Jackson'sl -hetpless iondit6ion-now Iposed him to a dis- tressing accident. Hia horse ran violently betwveen two trees, from one of which a hori- zontal bough extenied, at about tfe height of his head, to the other,' and, as he passed between the trees; this bough stru'k him in the !ae, tore off his cap and threw bim vio- lently lkck on his horse. The blow was .so violent as nearly io unseat him, but it did not do so, aud, .rising erect-again, he caught the trIdk wih*he broken and bleeding fin- gers of his right hand and succeeded in tu,n- ing his horse back into the turnpike. Here Capt. Wilbourne, of his st, succeeded in .catchinr the reins and clecking the anin'al, who wasL;alnost frar.tic with terror, and at te same mome.nt, whp f-om loss of blood ,id exhaustian, Jackson Wvis about to fall f:-o the sIddlt; The scene at this tire wa gloomy and de- pressing. forse, mad wi4h fright at the dIose firing, were seen running in every di- rection, some -of them rider!ess, bthers defy- ir.g control, and in te woods lay many dying and wounded men. Jackson's ~who}e p dty, except Capt. 11ilbourn and a member of the signal. corpsi had,been killed, wounded or dis- persed. The man riding just behindJackson had his horse killed ; a courier near wpun- ded, and his horse ran into; the Federal lines - Lieut. Morrison aid-de-camp, threw hin.self, from bis saddle, and hi horse fell dead a mo- I ment afterward; Captain Hloward was nioun- ded and carried by his horse in the Feder'alL camp ; Capt4iti Leigh.had his horse shot un- der him ; Captain Forbes was killed, and1 CatinBswveT Jackson's Chief Engineer, body carried%by his frightened horse into the lines of ge eneiny, near at hand. Souch was the result of the causeless fire. It had ceased as suddenly as it had begun, and the position in the road whigh- Jackso'n now occupted was the sanme from which ife had been -driven. Captain -Wilbourn, who, with \Ii'Wynn, of the Signal Corps, was all that was left of the party, notices a. singular circmstanbe which attfacted higatn1ori at-j this moment. The turnpike wa.s utterly de- serted, with the exception of himself, his com- panion and Jackson ; but intbe skirting of the thicket on:the left he obs,erved sonie one siting on his horse, by th'e side of the wood, coolly looking on, motionless. and silent. Th unknown lndividua4 was clad in 4 darlt dress, which strongly reseinibled the Federal uniform; but it seemed impossibli that h' could'.have penetrated to that spot without being .disegv-I ered.

Dawkins,-of South jarolina, this afternoon, had an interview, by Lppointment, with President Johnson. They rere accompanied by W. II. Trescott, who is iere en business as Executive Agent of that tate. The President, 7after the.customary yrelitn-inaries of reception, invited them to be eated, when at once the conversation com- ienced by Judge Wardlaw informing 1m hat~the' were a delecation from the State ,onvention 6f South Carolina, sent hither to >rescpt certain memorials of th-ut body.Y~These nemoials had been carefuhy considered in he Cevcntion, .nd he believed theytold ex- tly the truth. The Preid irt inq -*d the object of the nemorials. Judge Wardlay infor'nid him hat one. of. them was in behalf of Jefferson )avis, A. .11. Stepfies, George A. Trenholm. LndGovernor Magrath. 1 said they had inderstood that, by .the kind interference of he Prtsident, Mesis. Stephens and Tren- iolm had already.been released from close :onfinemen.t and permitted toretufn to their omes. Ile would ask for Governor Magrath ,ither a pardon or that he might be released n hls pai6!de. They could assure the Presi- [ant that no harm would result frQm such an et of clemency. The Ptesident replied that 11 could not be pardoned at once. The busi- ess must be proceeded gradually, and an ef- rt made to execute the Iw. A disciimina- ion was neessary as wt go along. It % .is a wo eotnion expression, by way of argument or clemency, that such a one Shad been par- loned,.and that be wasjust as bad as another vho had not. Judge Wardlaw replied that he'delegation p7resented no such argument a' hat. The President said sometimes the pe- uliar locality had much to do with pa*n';. Ake many other things in fiumn*l 'affairs we annot haie a fixed rtde. Much depends on iscretion and circumstances. If we know rselves, we wanst to do what is best and ust,and to show a proper degree of humanity nthe part of the Government. Judge Wardlaw remarked that tbey had not ome hither t> ekpr6ss their own bop.s and lesires, but as delegate from the Sn.th Caro- ina convention, ;@.,present the memorials of hat body- in.a formal manner. The Pretident-We will, gentle6tn, eiti he facilities and civilities which the questions. equire. We would prefer to pardon twenty en than refuse one. Judge Wardlaw re- lied that they. did noi desigii to sayanything vithreference to G-vernor~ Magrth, further han that they believed mrch good would re- ult by the 'exercise of theExecutive clemency owar-d bin. Col. Dawkins said if he could get Govern.or ifagrath pardoned, it would be a .great gelief himat the present time. Judge Wardlaw thanked the Prsident for iavng released Messrs. Stephens anid Tren- ilni.- The President-We have that far, then, an- icipatedyour miemorial.* Mr. Huger said Mr. Trenholmn was one of 'e most useful men, and there was no doubt te would exert all his powe~r with a view to tire harmorny between the State and the lovernmenlt. The President repHied that he understood ha was so, adding: If treaso,n has been comn- nitted; there ought to be son,e -test to deter- nine the power of the Government to punish he crime, Ie was free to say Chat it was iot a mere contest between political parties h a question as tQ de facto Governments. 3ooking at the Government as we do, an~d the aws violated in an atttmipt at the overthrow >f the nation, there should be a vindiegtion of .e Government and the Constitution, 'even ( the pardoning power were exercised there- ifter. If. treason has been comnmitted, it >Ught to be,d-eterineCd by the highest tr@u- aal and the fact declared, even if clemency ;hould come afterwards. There was no mal- c or prdedice'in wishing to cairy out that* luty. Judge Wardid*. i-emarks that they were well aware of that2 The President, resuming, said i ifeH biaf e some unkind feelings Sn this subject, but t did not exist to a grea't extent. Judgd Wardlaw said: Alghough not. in- structed by~ the Convention, he was induced to ask whether Mrs Jefferson Davis, 4Ob'6 was no~t terrfined to Georgia, could not cross into S?outh Carolina to see her friends. Thg Pres- ideut replied that'he hadreceived letters from Mrs. Dis, but tig were not very commien- da,ble." The tone 6f one-Q#them, however,1 was considerably improved, but the othersi were not of,the character becoming one' ask- ne'lenecy.. Judge WardlAnterposed .by. saying-. that s was a- woman of strong feeling.- The. President repliedi "Yes; I suppose she isa woman of.strong feelings-.and temper,! b~t there is no intenlioni toi persecute her. There is as much uiagnanimity and noblenes '6f spirit in submi'itting as in tr ing to put the Government at defittee?' Mir.Hunger remarks that they had a deep consciouSness of the truth of all the President said. Th-e Iresident, resuming, observed that the chaacter of an individual'-may character- ize a natiorswhich is nothing -but an aggre' gate of.indiv'iduals, aE91 yhen a proper';pirit s nifested,101l cais adt harilnion'sly.

While there was agtii judginent which must be tme. I assure you, gentlemen, no dispositon exists for -persecu- tion or a birst for blood. Jud law remarks that the tone of the new' pel-s was wore favorable, and diff-j erent from-what it ws- He then asked if the President had seeii a t*py .of the amended Constitution of South dirotna. Of 'course, he said we gecept emancjpation. He felt per- fectly sati;6ed that the person and property of the negro will be protected, and he spoke of the great, difficulties of regulating labor and of restraining vagrancy, etc. The President thought that many-of the evils would disappear if they itaugurated the right system. Pass lws pr-otectingthe colored man in isperson and propefty, and'he can collect his debts. He kew how it nas in the South. Thequestion, when first presented, of putting a colored t6n.on the witness stand, made them shIIde, but the coloured man's tostimony was to be taken for what it was worth by those who examifne bim and thejdry who hear it. After all, there was net so much danger as was supposed. Those com- ing out of slavery cannot do without work.- They tnot lic. down in- dissipaton. They must work. They ought to understand that liberty.means simply the right to work and to enjoy the products.of labor; ahd that the laws will protect them. That being done, and when we com5to the pgriod to feel that fnen must Aork or starve, the country will be prepared to receive a system applicable to loth white-and blA-p-'epared. to receive a system-necessary to'the case. A short time bick, Yu could not force the vagrant law on the black, but you could on the white man. But get the public mind right,4 nd you can treat both aliker Let us ge 'the gn'bral priniples, and kJ.ie' detasls and calculations will follow. A cetersation of some Rength ensued be- tween the Pre4dent ad dge Wafflaw and Mr. Trescott as tothe legisl.tion of te State necessary ri refrence to the condition.of the freedmen, and tliecope and consequences of the circular No. 145 of the Adjutant-Ceneral's Department, relativ to abandoned lagds in South Carolina and other- Southern States. The examination of these subjects it is un- derstood, is'to be continued at another inter- view. Tlee President said: We must be* trtical and come up to surrounding circumstances. Judge Wardlaw, 00i Dawkina and Mr. Hu- ger all expressed to tl- President their con- viction that their State had accepted, fn good faith, the' results of the issue which had been mad' ; that the people felt that the President had st6od between then,and a harA - use of the power of the Governmetit ihat ie felt entire confidenee in his purposes and actions,. and hve, in return, to entitle themselvis to his confidence as to their feelings and actions.. The President replied that he was glad.to hear it; that whereven' such mutual confidence ex- istel, there would, he thought, be an open road to the restoration of good feelings and prosperous condition, and that if'-he knewl himself, and though,t he did, he wou&m recoe mend nothing but,what woli advance their interests. So far from pandering to or lo,ok- ing to ftuture elevation, he must be believed when he said be bad no,eye, Mi'gi, 'td such preferment. .If, he continued, I could be in- strumerftal in restoring the Government to its formei- relationis, and he the p'eople once more united and happy, i should .feel that I had more han filldd the riisra of iy rin bition.

Who Killed Stonewall Jackson.

The details which:follow are given on the

authority' of Jackson's staff officers, and one

or two others who witnessed all that occur-

red. Tn relation to the tragic portion of thescne, there remained, as'will be seen, but a

single .winess.Jackson%dl riddeni foi-ward on the turn-

pike to-reco,nnoitre, and assertain, if pbssible,irispite:of the darkness of the night,- the po-sition of the Federal lines. The moon shone,but it was struggling with a bank of clouds,and siforded but adim lig'ht. From the gloomythickets on each-,ide of the turnpike, lookingmore weird and scembre in the half light, camethe malencholly notes of the -whip-poorwill."I think there must have been ten thousand,"said Gen. Steward, afterward. Such was the

sene amid which the events now.about to be

narrated, took place. Jackson bad advancedwith some members 'of his staff, considerabiyb ev ond the building known as "MeiZi !Chan-celor's," abouit a mile from Chancellorsville,andl had reached a point nearly op'posite a

dismantled hotise in the woods, near the road,hose, shell-torn roof riny still be seen,'$vhene ' r'einedl in his horse and remaining per-fely gquie. gnd motionless, listen'ed jptentlyJfor any indications ofCa movement ethe Fed-

They .were scardecly two hundred yards infront of him, tind seeing the danger to whichhe exposed himself, one of hips 'staff officerssaid, "General, dori't you think this is thewron'place for you ?" lIe replied quickly,almost' in'dently, "The danger is all over !theenemy is routed ; go back and tell *A. P.Iill to press rightgn!" The officer obeyed,but had'scarcely disappeared when a suddenvolley was ffi-ed by .the Confederate infantryin Jackson's rear, and 'on the; right of theroad-evidently directed upon him and- hisscout. The. origin of this fire has never been

discovered, and after Jackson's death therewas little disposition to.investigate an oceur-rence which occasioned bitter distress on all,who, by ;m possibility, could have taken anypart ini it. ~is proable, hov6ver, te so'meroovement of the Federal skirmishers had pro.oked the firg; if this is an error, the,. troops

fired deliberately upon Jackson. and his party,uder the impression that they were a bodyof Federal cavalry reconnoitering. It is saikthat th'e men had orders to open on any ob

jeet in front,*especially on cayalry, a'nd thidi sence of pielfetsi or advance force of anjId on -the Confederate side explains th'"'t. The enemy*were almdst in conta4ct wit!thmn; the Federal artillery, -fully commandng the positiorn of the troOps, was expecte4to open every moment, and the men werI:.-.s :.in ta mitdoniion which induce

troops to fire at any. and every object theysee.

Whatever inay haveb6en the origin thisvolley, it came, and many of the staff and es

cort were shot,' and fell from their horses. IJackson wheeled to the ioft and galloped: intothe woods to get of range.of the bullets ;but he had not gone'twliaty steps teyond theedge of-th*turnpike,'in the thicket, whenbne of his brigades, dawn Fx ivithia thirtythirty yards of him, fired a volldy in theirturn, kneeling on the right knee, as the flashof thgafs showed; as tGough prepared to

"guard against cavalry." By the fire Jacksonw; wounded in three places. Ie receivedone ball in the shoulder joint, shattering the Ibone and severing the chief artery-'a second 1

ball passed through the same arm betweenthe elbow and wrist, makingits esit throughthe palm of his right band, aboin the middle,and passing through, broke two.of the bones. 1

-At the same moment when'be %-as struck, t

holding his rein in his left hand,, and theright was either raised in the .-siniguar-ges-ture habitual to him at ti es of excitement,or to protect his face from the boughs of thetreeg. Ii l-It haind immediately dropped at.his side, and his horse, no longer controlledby the rein, and fi i.ghtened at. te firing,wheeled suddeily and ran fromn the fire in thedirection of the Federal lines. Jackson'sl-hetpless iondit6ion-now Iposed him to a dis-

tressing accident. Hia horse ran violentlybetwveen two trees, from one of which a hori-zontal bough extenied, at about tfe heightof his head, to the other,' and, as he passedbetween the trees; this bough stru'k him inthe !ae, tore off his cap and threw bim vio-lently lkck on his horse. The blow was .so

violent as nearly io unseat him, but it didnot do so, aud, .rising erect-again, he caughtthe trIdk wih*he broken and bleeding fin-gers of his right hand and succeeded in tu,n-

ing his horse back into the turnpike. HereCapt. Wilbourne, of his st, succeeded in.catchinr the reins and clecking the anin'al,who wasL;alnost frar.tic with terror, and at

te same mome.nt, whp f-om loss of blood,id exhaustian, Jackson Wvis about to fall

pressing. forse, mad wi4h fright at thedIose firing, were seen running in every di-rection, some -of them rider!ess, bthers defy-ir.g control, and in te woods lay many dyingand wounded men. Jackson's ~who}e p dty,except Capt. 11ilbourn and a member of the

signal. corpsi had,been killed, wounded or dis-

persed. The man riding just behindJacksonhad his horse killed ; a courier near wpun-

ded, and his horse ran into; the Federal lines -

Lieut. Morrison aid-de-camp, threw hin.self,from bis saddle, and hi horse fell dead a mo- Iment afterward; Captain Hloward was nioun-ded and carried by his horse in the Feder'alLcamp ; Capt4iti Leigh.had his horse shot un-

It had ceased as suddenly as it had begun,and the position in the road whigh- Jackso'nnow occupted was the sanme from which ifehad been -driven. Captain -Wilbourn, who,with \Ii'Wynn, of the Signal Corps, was allthat was left of the party, notices a. singularcircmstanbe which attfacted higatn1ori at-jthis moment. The turnpike wa.s utterly de-serted, with the exception of himself, hiscom-

panion and Jackson ; but intbe skirting ofthe thicket on:the left he obs,erved sonie one

siting on his horse, by th'e side of the wood,coolly looking on, motionless. and silent. Thunknown lndividua4 was clad in 4 darlt dress,which strongly reseinibled the Federal uniform;but it seemed impossibli that h' could'.havepenetrated to that spot without being .disegv-Iered.

[mportant from Washington-Our Conven-11i's Delegabou's Interview with thefresident.WASMGTO, October 13.-Judge Ward-

aw, Alfred Huger and Col. Dawkins,-of Southjarolina, this afternoon, had an interview, byLppointment, with President Johnson. Theyrere accompanied by W. II. Trescott, who isiere en business as Executive Agent of thattate. The President, 7after the.customaryyrelitn-inaries of reception, invited them to beeated, when at once the conversation com-

ienced by Judge Wardlaw informing 1mhat~the' were a delecation from the State,onvention 6f South Carolina, sent hither to

>rescpt certain memorials of th-ut body.Y~Thesenemoials had been carefuhy considered inhe Cevcntion, .nd he believed theytold ex-

tly the truth.The Preid irt inq -*d the object of the

nemorials. Judge Wardlay infor'nid himhat one. of. them was in behalf of Jefferson)avis, A. .11. Stepfies, George A. Trenholm.LndGovernor Magrath. 1 said they hadinderstood that, by .the kind interference ofhe Prtsident, Mesis. Stephens and Tren-iolm had already.been released from close:onfinemen.t and permitted toretufn to theiromes. Ile would ask for Governor Magrath,ither a pardon or that he might be releasedn hls pai6!de. They could assure the Presi-[ant that no harm would result frQm such an

et of clemency. The Ptesident replied that11 could not be pardoned at once. The busi-ess must be proceeded gradually, and an ef-rt made to execute the Iw. A disciimina-ion was neessary as wt go along. It % .is a

wo eotnion expression, by way of argumentorclemency, that such a one Shad been par-loned,.and that be wasjust as bad as anothervhohad not. Judge Wardlaw replied thathe'delegation p7resented no such argument a'

hat. The President said sometimes the pe-uliar locality had much to do with pa*n';.

Ake many other things in fiumn*l 'affairs we

annot haie a fixed rtde. Much depends oniscretion and circumstances. If we know

rselves, we wanst to do what is best andust,and to show a proper degree ofhumanitynthe part of the Government.Judge Wardlaw remarked that tbey had notome hither t> ekpr6ss their own bop.s andlesires, but as delegate from the Sn.th Caro-inaconvention, ;@.,present the memorials of

hat body- in.a formal manner.The Pretident-We will, gentle6tn, eiti

he facilities and civilities which the questions.equire. We would prefer to pardon twentyen than refuse one. Judge Wardlaw re-

lied that they. did noi desigii to sayanythingvithreference to G-vernor~ Magrth, further

han that they believed mrch good would re-

ult by the 'exercise oftheExecutive clemencyowar-d bin.Col. Dawkins said if he could get Govern.orifagrath pardoned, it would be a .great geliefhimat the present time.

Judge Wardlaw thanked the Prsident foriavng released Messrs. Stephens anid Tren-ilni.-The President-We have that far, then, an-

icipatedyour miemorial.*Mr. Huger said Mr. Trenholmn was one of'emostuseful men, and there was no doubttewould exert all his powe~r with a view to

tireharmorny between the State and thelovernmenlt.

The President repHied that he understoodha was so, adding: If treaso,n has been comn-

nitted;there ought to be son,e -test to deter-ninethe power of the Government to punish

he crime, Ie was free to say Chat it was

iot amere contest between political partiesh aquestion as tQ de facto Governments.3ookingat the Government as we do, an~d theawsviolated in an atttmipt at the overthrow>f thenation, there should be a vindiegtion of

c or prdedice'in wishing to cairy out that*

luty.Judge Wardid*. i-emarks that theywerewell aware of that2

The President, resuming, said i ifeH biafesomeunkind feelings Sn this subject, but

t did not exist to a grea't extent.

Judgd Wardlaw said: Alghough not. in-

structedby~the Convention, he was inducedto askwhether Mrs Jefferson Davis, 4Ob'6 was

no~tterrfined to Georgia, could not cross into

S?outhCarolina to see her friends. Thg Pres-ideutreplied that'he hadreceived letters fromMrs.Dis, but tig were not very commien-

da,ble."The tone 6f one-Q#them, however,1was considerably improved, but the othersi

werenotof,the character becoming one' ask-ne'lenecy..

Judge WardlAnterposed .by. saying-. that

s was a- woman of strong feeling.-The. President repliedi "Yes; I suppose

sheisawoman of.strong feelings-.and temper,!b~tthere is no intenlioni toi persecute her.

There is as much uiagnanimity and noblenes'6fspirit in submi'itting as in tr ing to put the

Government at defittee?'Mir.Hunger remarks that they had a deep

consciouSness of the truth of all the Presidentsaid. Th-e Iresident, resuming, observed that

the chaacter of an individual'-may character-izea natiorswhich is nothing -but an aggre'gateof.indiv'iduals, aE91 yhen a proper';pirits nifested,101l cais adt harilnion'sly. "Temanwho goes to the stake iralmost' diaBi-hedby his eai"ng-.-It lifts him above humihi-ation. In these cases,~ ger,piien,- we wilo

t'hebest we canl. While there was agtii

judginent which must be tme. I assure you,gentlemen, no dispositon exists for -persecu-tion or a birst for blood.Jud law remarks that the tone of

the new' pel-s was wore favorable, and diff-jerent from-what it ws- He then asked if thePresident had seeii a t*py .of the amendedConstitution of South dirotna. Of 'course,he said we gecept emancjpation. He felt per-fectly sati;6ed that the person and propertyof the negro will be protected, and he spokeof the great, difficulties of regulating laborand of restraining vagrancy, etc.The President thought that many-of the

evils would disappear if they itaugurated the

right system. Pass lws pr-otectingthe coloredman in isperson and propefty, and'he can

collect his debts. He kew how it nas in theSouth. Thequestion, when first presented,of putting a colored t6n.on the witness stand,made them shIIde, but the coloured man'stostimony was to be taken for what it was

worth by those who examifne bim and thejdrywho hear it. After all, there was net so

much danger as was supposed. Those com-

ing out of slavery cannot do withoutwork.- They tnot lic. down in- dissipaton.They must work. They ought to understandthat liberty.means simply the right to workand to enjoy the products.of labor; ahd thatthe laws will protect them. That being done,and when we com5to the pgriod to feel thatfnen must Aork or starve, the country will beprepared to receive a system applicable toloth white-and blA-p-'epared. to receive a

system-necessary to'the case. A short timebick, Yu could not force the vagrant law on

the black, but you could on the white man.
